Re: Rutherford's 'apiru source is c.100 years out of date
.......and we know that 40 years is too long for a generation, 25 is closer, so the hypothesis is quite plausible and has biblical support.
​
My understanding is that the Jewish generation has traditionally been 40 years. The overall average lifespan has been around 70 years. The average 1st child to a family is around 20 to 25 years. 40 seems to be a number more suited to balance the timespan for determination of a generation than 25. Most Biblical scholars go with the 40 year generation.
